 Satellites Mistaken for StarsWith Satellites Mistaken for Stars, Egger contributes to the dialog of experimental graphic design by giving us a book concerned largely with understanding the poetic potential of everyday occurrences and expressing disdain for hierarchical concepts and their boundaries.The seemingly unimportant, banal events of everyday life are documented, re-contextualized and de-constructed; confusion, deficiency and surprise are woven in, bringing these events back into the viewer's field of vision. more Satellites Mistaken for Stars design directory Satellites Mistaken for Stars > Graphic Design Books added by Levent OZLER |
 Printing Types: New Zealand Type Design Since 1870An exhibition, Printing Types: New Zealand Typeface Design Since 1870, has opened at Objectspace (8 Ponsonby Road, Auckland, New Zealand), featuring work from New Zealand typeface designers including Joe Churchward, Jack Yan and Kris Sowersby.Designer and curator Jonty Valentine noted that there had been an inadequate recognition of the discipline, even though New Zealand had been steadily building a type design industry over a 140-year period. The exhibition aims to remedy what Valentine calls the "invisibility" of type design in New Zealand. Valentine observes that "the purpose of this project is to begin to establish, or at least begin to lay the case for such a series of stories" and to question "why there is so little written about this subject." Objectspace Director, Philip Clarke, notes that "Printing Types, is I believe, the first exhibition and related publication completely focused on contemporary and historical New Zealand type design." Two highlights of Printing Types include the 1960s' achievements of internationally celebrated New Zealand-Samoan Joseph Churchward who is the subject of a new book, Joseph Churchward (ed. David Bennewith, published by Clouds, 2009) and Tom Elliott (designer of the iconic 1970s' Air New Zealand typeface). event (ended) current design events more info www.obj...
